It Was A Wee Bit Chilly This Morning...

[SeniorSeeker]

But I manages to dress warm enough to hunt one of our local middle school playgrounds. I dug a raft of sink pennies, several copper pennies, a few nickels, several dimes, a bunch of quarters, one really large coin that says 'One Penny' on one side and something 'Elizabeth' on the other. I also found a little 'Heart' ear ring, a house key, a Chinese necklace charm, and several junk keepers like zipper pulls/ snaps, etc. Now I need a hot soak for my aching muscles.

Thanks Betty. Actually a neighbor & I are heading out tomorrow morning to hunt a piece of private property. The owner lost a very special ring somewhere on the property and hasn't found it...so we're hoping to locate it for her.

How about some more detail on the Elizabeth penny Martin?

Sorry but this is the best I can do. As you know, there isn't a slot for a memory stick in the Apple iPad, so I had to use the on- board camera.

Thanks Martin. I tried to enlarge it but it's all fuzzy. It is an English penny but I was trying to read the date etc. wit no success.

It's dated 1965. It sure was a surprise when I saw it in the bottom of the hole. On my Minelab X-Terra 505, it I.D.ed at 42/48 and, needless to say, I was excited thinking I had a silver dollar. It's not of course but still a really nice find.
